These tests include thermal resistance (R-value), surface burning characteristics, water vapor, moisture vapor absorption, odor emission, corrosiveness, fungi resistance, and starch. In terms of whether it has a binding agent, the product is more rigid that batt insulation – it is not a blown-in or loose insulation product. Here is a cut sheet on it: <a href="http://www.acousticalsurfaces.com/wall_insulation/pdf/misc_data/UltraBroc2.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.acousticalsurfaces.com/wall_insulation/pdf/misc_data/UltraBroc2.pdf</a> Karen, According to the product’s website, the insulation meets existing ASTM specification and test methods for batt insulation: ASTM C665, ASTM C518, ASTM E96, ASTM E84, ASTM E970.

My questions are these; is it completely fireproofed, mold and moisture resistant,? Do it have some typy of mastic in it to hold the insulation in place so it does not settle to the bottom of the walls in time? Recycling is great, just would like to know that it is being done in a way that does not cause problems if future years. Way to go Missoula ! I'd like to utilize some green building measures in modernizing our home and am always looking for new safe innovations. Good job MFCU ! ! ! Karen Wagner Recycled denim insulation sounds interesting.
